N00ks

N00ks are nuclear devices owned by people who probably shouldn't have them for various support, design, or operational reasons and used in ways generally considered 'immature.'

Common example: A brand-new nation, population five million, immediately declares war on the United Nations using a ludicrously large number of nuclear weapons, usually well above a thousand and most often a string of random numerals following a pattern similar to "Elf Only Inn's" Goku666 character's power level (example: 120985701920197).

This will most often result in an IGNORE situation, although sometimes old nations will take the threat seriously and engage in a pacification operation such as Operation Righteous Smackdown. The latter option is riskier, as it could lead to a situation of a thoroughly outmatched opponent never admitting defeat; however, it can also lead to a Sigma Octavus solution where it vastly improves the new nation involved (assuming that it is not completely glassed over during the Righteous Smackdown). See the Death of Bisons for an example of such.

Unfortunately, this policy has led to an opposing trend, trying to enforce time limits on the development of a nation while the older, 'advising' nation is generally ruining a thread with unwanted ooc comments, thus defeating the very concept of Free Form Roleplaying, and often scaring away capable and serious, but new players.
